1895, USA: The american HELEN BRICE (1874 - 1950). Photo by Frances Benjamin JOHNSTON (1864 - 1952). A daughter of Calvin Stewart Brice (1854-1898), an Ohio-born railway magnate and U.S. senator, Helen was a well known figure in the social circles of Manhattan and Newport during the first half of the twentieth century. She never married, but she led a full (and one would like to think, happy) life replete with balls, dinner parties and nights at the opera, charity events, travel abroad and leisurely summers in Rhode Island. Helen Brice still today remembered for a famous portrait painting by most celebrated Belle Epoque american painter John Singer Sargent (1867 - 1925)
